Netherlands hero Wout Weghorst breaks down in tears after Argentina heroics go to waste

Netherlands forward Wout Weghorst was left in tears after his nation lost their World Cup quarter-final with Argentina despite his two-goal heroics.

The Burnley forward - currently spending a period on-loan with Turkish side Besiktas - initially started on the bench for Louis van Gaal 's men at the Lusail Stadium. Memphis Depay and Steven Bergwijn were both preferred.

Argentina had raced into a 2-0 lead through Nahuel Molina and Lionel Messi, when the former Manchester United head coach turned to his bench in an effort to find a route back into the game. Weghorst was one of those introduced and his appearance could not really have gone much better.
